Enjoy free animation screenings, workshops and master classes in a city near you

Get Animated! is an annual NFB-sponsored animation bonanza that brings public screenings, master classes and workshops to communities all across Canada, all for the fantastic (and unbeatable) price of FREE.

There will be new releases (like Anita Lebeau’s Big Drive, Phyllis Grant’s Waseteg and Nicola Lemay’s Private Eyes), programs for kids, master classes by well-loved NFB animators, animation workshops and, you know, lots of fun all around.
